Seeing that I have a 45 minute drive between me and campus, I've compressed my classes into a Monday+Wednesday schedule. The upshot: I do a lot less driving, conserving gas and making me an environmental superhero. The downside: on Monday & Wednesday I leave at 11am and get home at 11pm.
My classes this semester make up for the long days (aside from Marketing, that is). I'm finally learning how to use Illustrator! Looking forward to putting my CS4 to work. Graphic Design promises to be interesting - we're starting with "old school" techniques (e.g. T-square, ruler, X-acto, etc). Intro to Digital Photography may be redundant for me, but it means I get to work with the Nikon D-60, which beyond my budget.
If anyone else is in school, good luck with the semester!
